Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

Appellation

Graves

Graves, a venerable appellation in Bordeaux, France, is renowned for its historical significance and the production of distinguished red and white wines. What makes Graves unique is its diverse terroir, featuring gravelly soils that not only lend the region its name but also provide excellent drainage and heat reflection, contributing to the ripening of grapes. Red wines from Graves are predominantly blends of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, offering a balanced expression of dark fruits, structure, and age-worthy potential. The appellation is also celebrated for its exceptional white wines, primarily crafted from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. These whites showcase bright acidity, citrus flavors, and a unique flinty character. Graves is home to renowned châteaux like Haut-Brion, a Premier Cru Classé, exemplifying the region's commitment to producing wines of exceptional quality and character. Exploring Graves unveils the essence of Bordeaux winemaking, where tradition and terroir converge to create wines that resonate with history and sophistication.

Very perfumed, bright and crunchy. Rose petals, lemons and other citrus fruits. Medium body with citrus and raspberry flavors. Linear and long with lovely energy and vivacity. Drinkable now, but better in a couple of years.

Decanter

Deep and highly aromatic on the nose - freshly picked red berries with dried herbs and a touch of liquorice. Supple and forward, this has nice energy and bounce. Creamy, super juicy and with a cooling mineral bite that comes across as slightly spiced with graphite and pencil lead accents and a slight chalky powderiness on the tongue. Really lovely frame and focus. Great to drink now, has plenty of punch but with lovely finesse too. Easy to enjoy this.

The 2022 Domaine de la Solitude is soft, open-knit and very appealing. Crushed flowers, bright red-toned fruit, orange peel and cinnamon build effortlessly in the glass. Silky, plush tannins wrap it all together is style. This is a very pretty, floral wine from Martillac.

Wine Enthusiast

Game and cinnamon aromas give the spicy character of this wine. Tight black fruits, with layers of tannins and acidity indicate a wine ready to age. Drink this wine, produced by the Bernard family on a vineyard owned by a religious order, from 2027.

Spicy red and black fruits, savory tobacco, spicy wood, and leather notes all shine in the 2022 Domaine De La Solitude, a medium-bodied 2022 with a beautiful overall balance, a supple, layered mouthfeel, and nicely integrated tannins. It plays on the more complex, elegant end of the spectrum and is already hard to resist, yet it should easily evolve for 15+ years or more. The blend is 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot, all raised in 35% new oak.

Wine Advocate

The 2022 Rouge from Domaine de la Solitude (Pessac-Léognan) reveals a gourmand, fresh bouquet of cassis, mulberries and flowers. Moderately weighted, supple and satiny, it's perfectly balanced with a juicy core of fruit, velvety tannins and bright acids, concluding with a fresh, sweet and penetrating finish. This blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot matured for 18 months in a combination of new (35%) and used barrels. It is a charming, exquisite wine.

The Wine Independent

This is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, and it has seen one year in oak barrel for the élevage, using about 20% new oak. I get pretty red berry and cranberry fruits on the nose, with just a touch of desiccated, confit concentration to them, and a layer of chocolate, tobacco and coffee bean from the oak, but the overall impression is one of rather loose fruit, at least on the first bottle tasted. A second bottle – which saw more air – shows more coherence and sweetly perfumed oak. The palate is supple, nicely polished, integrated and already approachable, the delicately dried fruits wrapped up in tannin through the middle and finish. An attractive, initially easy-going style, rather juicy too, although the grained tannins in the middle and finish suggest this will benefit from some cellar time. Tasted twice. The alcohol on the label is 13.5%.

WS 88pts

Wine Spectator

Shows a mulled edge, with red currant and cherry fruit melding with tea, singed sandalwood and rose hip accents. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2029. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 10,000 cases made.
